[Mkdump-devel] dumping on swap device

[skunk <sk...@le...>]

hi all!

i'm having some troubles with a isp server and want to get a kernel backtrace to work on...
i don't have free disk space for an extra dump partitition, so i specified the swap partitition in /proc/mkexec/dumpdev
and commented out the swap partitition from /etc/fstab so it won't automatically activated at boot time...
is there something wrong with this setup? will i get a useful dump at next kernel panik?
where can i find the tools necessary for extracting the dump from my swap partitition?

thank you!
